D: Mum, do you like rats?
Me: Well they’re not my FAVOURITE animal, but they’re OK.
D: Do you like cats or do you like dogs?
Me: I like both, but I probably prefer dogs because they can understand us more.
D: I prefer cats. What do cats do when we tell them something?
Me: Generally ignore it. Unless it’s about food.
D: Oh – yes, if it’s food they come RUNNING in…. Well, John has a rat and it BIT his finger!
Me: Ah – rats are not so nice when they bite.
D: That’s what I thought. And I’ve got a cough that’s as nasty as rats that bite!
